High impact information on Kidney, Artificial

• The distributed theory can explain why the peritoneal membrane, when compared with the artificial kidney, appears tight to urea but leaky to protein [1].
• In vitro clearance of methotrexate by 17 artificial kidneys, Amberlite XAD-4, and uncoated charcoal was determined [2].
• Thus tyrosine, free and sulfo-conjugated CA were eliminated by the artificial kidney, but not glucuro-conjugated amines.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[3]
• After high flow dialysis in artificial kidneys and immediate adsorption to DEAE-Cellulose, followed by purification on Con A-Sepharose, treatment with insoluble Papain and gelfiltration on Sephadex G 100, enrichment of CSA was about 6,000-fold [4].
• Clearance of gentamicin during hemodialysis: comparison of four artificial kidneys [5].

Anatomical context of Kidney, Artificial

• Fine ultrastructures of the cross sections of membranes, which are derived from chitosan and utilizable as artificial kidney, are examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) [6].

Associations of Kidney, Artificial with chemical compounds

• The ideal method of heparinization should achieve therapeutic concentrations (0.2-0.5 IU/mL) in the artificial kidney and the least possible amount of heparin in the patient [7].
• Finally, the biparametric bioanalyser was validated on-line by measuring creatinine and urea levels in artificial kidney effluents [8].
• DIMP removal efficiencies were compared to dialysis with a 1.8 m2 Cordis-Dow hollow fiber artificial kidneY (HFAK) [9].
• In preliminary experiments it was determined that dogs dialyzed with ticlopidine alone demonstrated gross clotting of the artificial kidney within 2.5 hr [10].
• Experience with use of the artificial kidney in the home led to the concept of self-infusion of parenteral nutrients at home [11].

Gene context of Kidney, Artificial

• As a first step in the development of a future wearable artificial kidney, we conducted three forms of treatment with continuous haemofiltration (CHF) on a group of 10 patients in an attempt to determine what plasma values of small molecules and beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-M) could be maintained [12].
• We postulate that patients receiving long-term dialysis may acquire PKD secondary to their exposure to chemicals leached from artificial kidneys [13].
• A synthetic polycarbonate (PC) membrane supplied by C.R. Bard Inc. was assessed as to its clinical usefulness and suitability to regular use with artificial kidney [14].
• These results indicate that BTG can be used as the marker of impaired platelet function in CRF and of the blood compatibility of artificial kidneys [15].
• We need more emphasis on Home Dialysis. The immediate future will bring us: WAK (Wearable Artificial Kidney) FAK (Filtrating Artificial Kidney) PAK (Peritoneal Artificial Kidney) HAK (Hemoperfusion Artificial Kidney) [16].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Kidney, Artificial

• Design of heparin infusion pump for a wearable artificial kidney [17].
• Theoretical calculations based on in vitro transport characteristics of membranes presently used in long-term clinical evaluation of a SElective DUal Filtration ARtificial Kidney (SEDUFARK) show that the system is comparable with hemofiltration in removal of urea and creatinine, and for substances greater than 15,000 daltons [18].
